Web-Based Location Tracking and Navigation System

<p>The project &lsquo;Design and Implementation of a Web-Based Location Tracking and Navigation</p> <p>System&rsquo; aims to develop a real-time tracking and navigation system that utilizes web</p> <p>technologies to provide accurate location information and directions to users. To ensure the</p> <p>safety of people, goods, and vehicles, there is a need for an innovative solution to address</p> <p>navigational difficulties. Thus, a web-based location tracking system was created that tracks</p> <p>and navigates the location of a user, vehicle, or goods. The system uses Global Positioning</p> <p>System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) to track and position</p> <p>users. The tracking device, made up of an Arduino Uno R3, SIM800L module, and NEO 6M</p> <p>GPS module, continuously monitors a moving user by interfacing serially with a GSM module</p> <p>and GPS module. The GPS module provides data like longitude and latitude, while the GSM</p> <p>module sends the user's position to a remote place. The user&rsquo;s position can be viewed on a</p> <p>digital map using Google Maps API. The software includes a web application with Nodejs as</p> <p>the backend server and Firebase as the database host, while the frontend is developed using</p> <p>HTML, CSS, BOOTSTRAP framework, and JavaScript with Google Maps API embedded.</p> <p>The Firebase real-time database stores all GPS data and the Google Map API displays the</p> <p>location information on a Google Map. Test and Simulation were carried out in various areas</p> <p>of Ogun State to show the project&rsquo;s flexibility and ease of use, the proposed system will offer</p> <p>an efficient and reliable way of navigating unfamiliar locations and will be useful tool for both</p> <p>individual and commercial use.</p>
